I'll offer my experience in getting my KY CCW
So, for starters, the Kentucky website for CCW information is here.
CCDW Home – Kentucky State Police
https://wp.kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov/ccdw/ccdw-home/
The short of it is you take a course ( or if you already have taken a course in the past from somewhere ) and apply online
Cost is $70 for the online application ( $60 if you go down to the sheriff's office, but it takes longer to process that way)
I applied on July 27 and got my temp paperwork about Sept 23 with a note that my permit would be ready for pick up at the sheriffs office after Sept 3 ( I didn't pick mine up until Sept 10 since I was traveling)
One of the reasons that I got the CCW was it bypasses the need for a background check when you do a purchase.
